hunter.

  • One of the sons of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. He became the chief of an Edomitish tribe ( Genesis 36:11 Genesis 36:15 Genesis 36:42 ).

  • Caleb's younger brother, and father of Othniel ( Joshua 15:17 ), whose family was of importance in Israel down to the time of David ( 1 Chronicles 27:15 ). Some think that Othniel (Judg. 1:13 ), and not Kenaz, was Caleb's brother.

  • Caleb's grandson ( 1 Chronicles 4:15 ).
